PHIHONG ELECTRIC
PHIHONG ELECTRIC is a Level 2 home EV charger from PHIHONG with up to 48 A (11.52 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 18 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
Standby draw of 1.21 W puts this in the most efficient 7% of the 91 certified 48 A models — about 11 kWh a year, roughly a third of the class median’s 29. Phihong pairs that with Wi-Fi connectivity, matching the 88% of the class that is networked, and full 48 A output on a 60 A circuit for about 41 miles of range per hour. The compromise is reach: an 18-foot cable runs seven feet under the class median, so measure the run from mount to charge port before committing.
- Best for: Connected 48 A charging with near-lowest idle consumption in class.
- Trade-off: The 18-foot cable limits mounting options in wider garages.

EV compatibility
The PHIHONG ELECTRIC's J1772 connector plugs directly into 23 of the 29 EVs tracked in this database. The other 6 (Hyundai Ioniq 5, Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model Y) work with it too — requires a J1772-to-NACS adapter (Tesla includes one with its vehicles).
